Flying Cloud's masts all raked backward one and one-quarter inch per foot of mast height. This design characteristic -- common among clipper ships -- allowed the wind to lift the ship while plowing forward rather than the wind driving the clipper ship's much sharper bow under water at speed...dangerous to crew and vessel alike as well as a serious concern to insurance underwriters.
Mast rake also reduced the ship's inclination to alternately pitch forward and aft along the ship's centerline...pitching forward followed by the stern slamming down on her transom overhang aft under certain challenging sea conditions.
I spotted this apparently abandoned horse-drawn hay rake in a field. It reminded me when I was young in Minnesota and of my grandfather who used one to rake hay after it had dried in the sun.
The 1st Vanway Guides from Prince George, B.C., did a rake and run in the fall for a community service project.
A small pub serving all sorts of wonderful world beers by Borough Market. There was a pub on this site until the early-20th century (probably the same building it looks like), though it was a cafe when converted to the Rake. (More recent photo from 2013, showing building.)
